Eight likely-to-return players primed for a 2018 Heisman run

Baker Mayfield has won the Heisman Trophy.

That’s nice and all, but what about next year?

For everyone not still shouting “Boomer Sooner!” toward Oklahoma’s senior quarterback, it’s time to look toward who could join him on stage at the Heisman ceremony in 2018.

For the sake of argument, let’s say that quarterbacks Josh Rosen, Sam Darnold and Lamar Jackson will turn pro. Throw in the draft-eligible running backs (Bryce Love, Saquon Barkley, Ronald Jones II, etc.) as well. And if that changes and any of them return, add them to this list retroactively.
